alia enormia

ALIA ENORMIA, pleading. And other wrongs. In trespass, the declaration ought
to conclude "and other wrongs to the said plaintiff then and there did,
against the peace," &c.
     2. Under this allegation of alia enormia, some matters may be given in
evidence in aggravation of damages, though not specified in other parts of
the declaration. Bull. N. P. 89; Holt, R. 699, 700. For example, a trespass
for breaking and entering a house, the plaintiff may, in aggravation of
damages, give in evidence the debauching of his daughter, or the beating of
his servants, under the general allegation alia enormia, &c. 6 Mod. 127.
     3. But under the alia nomia no evidence of the loss of service, or any
other matter which would of itself sustain an action; for if it would, it
should be stated specially. In trespass quare clausum fregit, therefore, the
plaintiff would not, under the above general allegation, be permitted to
give evidence of the defendant's taking away a horse, &c. Bull. N. P. 89;
Holt, R. 700; 1 Sid. 225; 2 Salk. 643; 1 Str. 61; 1 Chit. Pl. 388; 2 Greenl.
